Darren stopped by after he had a BUNCH of work done to his Mk4 Jetta GLI 1.9T - no, that is not a typo!! This motor has been bored out while receiving fresh, upgraded internals and larger turbo so an APR Stage 3 reflash was necessary. We had a chance to get a shot of the engine bay. You can’t help but notice the APR Motorsport Intake Manifold and Bahn Brenner Fuel Rail… An incredible amount of work!!

It’s done!! Scott will be by tomorrow to pick up his “new-again” Mk5 GTI now that the APR Stage 3 install is complete.


Prior to completion, we fitted the car with APR’s Stealth Turbo-Back Exhaust (remember his car was bone-stock when he dropped it off) and the subtle growl is absolutely a perfect combo with this turbo kit, and a necessary upgrade for the bigger turbo.

Out for it’s first drive…

The car will be back though - upgraded brakes and clutch are certainly in order as the new-found power will easily wear on the stock clutch and fade the brakes quickly. We’ll keep you posted with Scott’s plans when he returns.

We’ve fitted most of the parts from the APR Stage 3 kit over the weekend. Our technician was ambitious enough to come in after hours to continue the build and we were ahead of schedule.




We hit a snag on Monday however when we found that a replacement for a missing part from the kit went missing on its way to us from Alabama.

This has unfortunately halted the completion of this project but we have been over-nighted a second replacement part from APR which arrived early this morning. We anticipate to continue and wrap-up this install tonight or early tomorrow once the ECU gets flashed. Almost done, Scott!!
